Holy crap

[Kusanagi]

The landscaper's lawnmower just threw a rock through our display window, and I think I need to change my pants.

[bigjimaz]

Sounds to me like you REALLY need a vacation. Between this and your return SC I just read about, I think a week in Hawaii is just what the doctor ordered.

[Andara Bledin]

Yikes!

I can totally understand the need for a change.

While I was talking to the shipping guy at my work, the wind blew the keyhole door shut. It was loud. I think if I hadn't seen it swinging, I would have lost a life. (I'm a cat... I have spares)

^-.-^

I have a better idea. Come visit SA. You'll vacation like a king! It's R8 to the dollar, and you're welcome to stay with us - we have a spare room and a dog that will happily sniff your crotch for you.

[Trayol]

Don't listen to iradney, you should visit Chicago, where everyday experiences a new season.

[crazylegs]

Sod the great expansive weather of SA or the Americas, come to Britain where we have endless words for drizzle.

[SpyOne]

Kus, you need a vacation in a place so nice that after a week there, you phone home to say "keep my stuff: I'm staying." :)

[Trayol]

Having passed through Virginia myself, on behalf of Illinois let me say, "Eh." :D

[iradney]

Don't listen to iradney, you should visit Chicago, where everyday experiences a new season.

No no, listen to iradney! LISTEN TO IRADNEY! I cook! We have good weather! Great scenery! The exchange rate is in your favour!

[Trayol]

Good weather. Oh, who really needs perpetually perfect weather? No one, that's who! Chicago weather is always good for what it is and where it is located.

Have at you, iradney.

[Meadhands]

Have at you, iradney.

Ah, goodie... a duel to the death should liven this place up a bit.

This story kind of reminds me of a time some drunk through a glass bottle at the front window of my store. The window survived, but the bottle will be missed. :cry:

[Emrld]

you may be in need of a vacation . . .
but it doesn't appear that you are lacking in people who want to spend time with you . . .and take care of you during that time.

enjoy the warm fuzzy feeling (no not from your pants :lol: ) of having people care

[Gurndigarn]

Good weather. Oh, who really needs perpetually perfect weather? No one, that's who! Chicago weather is always good for what it is and where it is located.

Hey, we're trying to get his stress down. He needs a place that doesn't need radio shows to give traffic updates at 11:00 PM!

[Andara Bledin]

We also need to find him a chav (or the local equivallent) and entitlement whore free zone.

I'm not sure that place exists...

^-.-^

[iradney]

en guard!!

we also have good wines! (really good wines). Not to mention hot wimmen who go ga-ga for foreign accents.

[Ree]

Well, judging from the fact that it's almost April, and where I live, I am still looking at 3 foot snowbanks, and the snow in my backyard comes up to the bottom of my bedroom window, the fact that the landscapers are able to use a lawnmower at this time of year where Kusanagi lives, I would say he already enjoys some pretty favourable weather. ;)

[crazylegs]

Not to mention hot wimmen who go ga-ga for foreign accents.

Have you a spare room? :lol:

[iradney]

Have you a spare room? :lol:

Why yes, yes I do :D

[crazylegs]

Why yes, yes I do :D


I would say I don't take up much space, but thats a blatant lie, but I'm sure you'd be used to that! (by that I mean the lack of space before anyone gets funny)

[Amethyst Hunter]

I'm siding with Trayol only because I'm an Illinoisan. :devil: :lol:

[Supermarket Slave Girl]

No no no He needs to come to Aus, Queensland specifically, we hardly have a winter there, the weather is 9/10 beautiful and i could possibly get you free tickets to the theme parks.

I miss Queensland, i wanna go home:cry:

[iradney]

Nope. We have beaches, mountains, deserts, forests. He can go and stand at the point where the indian and atlantic oceans meet. He can go shark diving, wine tasting, abseiling, etc etc.
Of course, that's if he goes to Cape Town. But I'm in Joburg. We can offer clubbing, theatre, wine tasting, bungee jumping, and of course, hot girls who go ga-ga for accents.

[FuzzyKitten99]

Kus, you could join me up here in the land of 10,000 taxes lakes, and we can show you a good time. We have the Mall of America, Lake Minnetonka, WaterPark of America, Lake Calhoun, Lake Harriet, The Renaissance Festival (be sure to see Puke & Snot!), Chanhassen Dinner Theater, plenty of art festivals and museums, ValleyFair, National Sports Center that hosts the Schwan's USA cup, Museum of Questionable Medical Devices, etc...

We also have town/city festivals like Father Hennepin Days, Riverfest here in Anoka, Anoka County Fair, Blaine's Blazin' 4th, The Taste of Minnesota, Lumberjack days in Stillwater (Soul Asylum plays 7/25!), Minnesota State Fair-the largest 12-day fair in North America (choose from 480 varieties of food available, 48 of which are on a stick), and Hopkins Raspberry festival-just don't drink the raspberry beer...don't even use it to put out a fire... if God wanted beer to taste like raspberries, he would have made raspberry flavored hopps.

[Saydrah]

Kus is always welcome here in CO. We have skiing.

[Primer]

We have fire ants in Texas...
uh...wait...

[unclejampuff]

Have at you, iradney.

Dude, Buffalo's weather is just as mercurial... you actually CAN get sunburn and frostbite in the same weekend. It's so exciting in that "do I stand a good chance of keeping my ENTIRE nose today?" sort of way.
We have baaaaaby tiger cubs at our zoo. AND a baaaaby RHINO!!!!!:D
We also have garbage plates. Wash it down with loganberry!
Best of all, we have the worst sports teams in USA! How can you turn that down?

[iradney]

I still think SA wins. I mean, he'll get just under 8 bucks per dollar. That means he can stay in a damn nice hotel for roughly 100 dollars a night. He can go out for a meal in a swanky restaurant with a starter, mains, dessert AND wine for less than 45 bucks. Srsly!

I'd join in this convo...but I'm looking up prices for moving to SA... >.>

I'll throw in my :2cents:...Tennessee is nice this time of year....but then again don't like the weather wait 5 minutes...I have literally seen the weather change like this in a 20 minute period...sun, blizzard like conditions, clouds, rain, sun, snow

No, you don't want to LIVE here. just visit. Trust me. K?

[Andara Bledin]

Yeah. If you like ice. Seriously, the bosslady and family were just over in Tennessee. The son was not happy with the trip.

^-.-^

[Kusanagi]

Haha, I'll think about it!

Seriously though, I do need a vacation.

I cook, I clean, I give great backrubs, I'm warm to snuggle against, and I'll even wear a collar if you like when not out in public.

Just get me out of here -_-''

[Becks]

Kus, you had to sell yourself like that when I'm not single? :cry:

[Evil Queen]

Kus, you had to sell yourself like that when I'm not single? :cry:But I AM! :D :devil:

[JessEm]

I have one word for all of you -

California. :p

I shall supplement that word with two others - spare bed :D

On the flip side, CA does seem to be the gathering place for every entitlement whore in the states, so... I think I'll side with Iradney. SA is wonderful, and I've only ever experienced it second hand :p

[Peppergirl]

But I AM! :D :devil:

Me too!!! :wave:

Now, I really must log off so that I can write a list of things that will bring Kus to scenic Cincinnati for a visit. ;)

[iradney]

*Shoves TTO into a closet*
Yoo hoo! :wave: over here! :D

[Jester]

Kus, you need a vacation in a place so nice that after a week there, you phone home to say "keep my stuff: I'm staying." :)

Sounds like Key West to me. I came here for a month, it's been almost nine years!

If Kus needs a vacation, I am not going to try to sell him on the (usually) perfect weather here, as I know that where he lives, the weather is also (usually) perfect.

This is what Key West has to offer: overpriced food, drinks, and lodging.....overcommercialized downtown area with overly touristy bars and t-shirt shops. And, of course, overpriced tourist attractions.

Sold yet? No?

Well, despite all of the above, people come here, pay way too much TO come here, and absolutely fall in love with the place, due to the sheer magic that exists here. Everything you could ever want to do on, above, or under the water, including fishing, snorkeling, scuba diving, sailing, kite surfing, parasailing, jet skiing, kayaking, etc, etc. A night life rivaled by no one anywhere. Some kind of event going on just about any time of year. For history buffs, we have Ernest Hemingway, Tennessee Williams, Harry Truman, and not one but TWO Civil War-era forts. Jimmy Buffett started his whole career here. Ghost tours, haunted hotels, street performers, magicians (thank you very much!), musicians, interesting characters, great food, even better food, pirates, Cuba, awesome cigars, and gorgeous women from everywhere, wearing very little, and sometimes less than that. Drag queens, gay bars, female impersonator revues. Bed races, powerboat races, drag races (as in between drag queens, not cars), celebration of our secession from the U.S., Fantasy Fest, bar wars, cannons, Hemingway lookalike contests, pub crawls, 4 am last call, happy hours, rum, more rum, beer, more beer, martini bars, country bars, tourist bars, dive bars, pirate bars, Irish bars, clothing optional bars, gay bars, cigar bars, oyster bars, magic bars, bars, bar, bars, bar, bars, and more bars. I don't care what AT&T says, WE have more bars!

Of course, I have no place to lodge you, so you'd have to stay at one of the overpriced hotels.

What can I say? Other than the price tag, Key West has a lot to offer! :lol:


just don't drink the raspberry beer...don't even use it to put out a fire... if God wanted beer to taste like raspberries, he would have made raspberry flavored hopps.

Most raspberry beer is crap, I'll grant you that. But I have had SOME that is pretty damn tasty. It all depends on how it's made.

[Jester]

Might I add, Miss Iradney, that while the exchange rate is very favorable in SA, GETTING there is damn expensive.

I know.

I checked.

I could fly to RIO and have a hotel for a week for HALF of what it costs JUST to fly to Joburg.

And nothing personal.......I am sure SA is lovely.....but RIO? Please. No contest. :lol:

I'm sold, but my pasty Irish/Dutch skin won't let me goooo. :cry:

[Kusanagi]

Well, I live in California and have a good reliable car... :-P

[Kusanagi]

Looks like corporate decided to replace ALL of our front windows this week...now I need to deal with glass shards all over the place...

Shit. I need to bring a breathing mask to work tommorrow. Last thing I need is glass dust in my lungs.

You know, anyone's welcome to come here too! Hah, given my life, it's something you can say your survived, and get a shiny medal and a purple heart!

We can even make it like a tourist attraction!

SEE! The showroom that is the Thunderdome of the furniture world!

SEE! The sofa that nearly crushed our young hero!

SEE! The intersection where he ragdolled by a car!

San Diego, right?

I do plan on making it back there with the family. That is where I sailed from on my cruise last month. After I checked all my stuff in on the ship, I explored a little around port. Just from the very little I saw, I definitely want to go back again to explore farther past the terminal.

[Becks]

You know, anyone's welcome to come here too! Hah, given my life, it's something you can say your survived, and get a shiny medal and a purple heart!

I'll add you to the list. :D

[Kusanagi]

'Tis a grand city! Would love to show it off to anyone :P

[Peppergirl]

:wave:

I LOVE San Diego! Last time I was there though, I went to Tijuana and misbehaved a bit. :( There's not much out there that's more sobering than the thought of a Mexican jail. :lol:

[Andara Bledin]

SEE! The intersection where he ragdolled by a car!

Wait, what? I missed that story.

^-.-^

[Kogarashi]

Oooh, my sister lives near San Diego.

Now if I only had the money to go visit Darling Niece....

[Kusanagi]

Haha, or I need an excuse AKA money to get out of here...
